Your Kilt Photos 2The your kilt photos 2 page is an extension to the your kilt photos page, which I have happily had to build out of necessity, having received so many wonderful photos from the readers of this web site. I am delighted to begin this page with some excellent photos, kindly sent to me by James Graham Clyde, who likes to be known as Jim. The first photo to be featured was taken just before Christmas 2009, at his home in the United States. It shows him wearing one of his kilts, in the Macfarlane Ancient Hunting tartan, and looking very relaxed in front of his roaring log fire.
Jim wearing his MacFarlane Ancient Hunting Tartan Jim has been wearing kilts for about three years now (this update Feb 2010, and he owns three of them, with a fourth on the way. I include a quote from his email, in which he so eloquently states. "but you are correct... wearing a kilt takes a certain amount of sang froid, but once one feels comfortable wearing it, all doubts subside. The kilt is a very unique, elegant and tasteful sartorial expression. I wear mine all the time... to parties, church, dinners etc." Jim is very proud of his Scottish heritage, his father's parents were both Scottish, and his mother also came from a long line of Scottish ancestors. The next photo shows Jim taking part in the Graham clan march, at The Gathering in the summer of 2009. You can see Jim in the center of the photo, and standing off to his right is His Grace, James Graham, 8th Duke of Montrose. Jim is wearing his Graham of Montrose tartan in this photo.

Jim at Smailholm Tower I would like to thank Jim very much for his stunning photos, which I consider a very valuable contribution to the new your kilt photos 2 page. I could not have hoped for a better set of photos to launch this page, as Jim is a wonderful ambassador of the kilt, and carries it off very well. The next contribution to the page (Feb 2010), is with the kind permission of the photographer, who took this wonderful photo of a vintage doll, resplendent in her Sinclair hunting tartan kilt.
Kilted Doll Photo by Alex Cunningham Alex took the photo, when he saw the beautiful doll sitting as part of the window display at the Jedburgh auction rooms, in the Scottish borders. Lets hope she finds a good home soon! I would like to thank Alex for giving me permission to use his photo, as I feel it adds a new dimension to the page. The next photo has been sent in by Colin, who has made a major contribution to the web site. This latest one shows him once again, utterly resplendent in full Highland Dress, attending a Pipes and Drums Ball with his lovely wife Joan.
Colin and Joan I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I have, and that they inspire and encourage you to send me your photos, for inclusion on the your kilt photos 2 page. I look forward to it growing, as you keep sending me your wonderful photos over the next months, and years. Return from Your Kilt Photos 2 to Your Kilt Photos
